"Dr Kim and his staff did an outstanding job. All parties involved made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Afte the procedure, Dr Kim explained everything in a clear and concise manner and his staff made sure that I was able safely depart. I was given a follow up call the next day to ensure that there were no complications and if I had any questions."

Dr Kim will walk you through entire process, starting with explanation, answering any question you may have and then he will stop by during your recovery to show you the findings.

"Dr. Kim was amazing. He had reviewed my records and read my journal that I brought to the appointment. He stated that this would be an educational appointment. My daughter -in - law was with me. Dr. Kim proceeded to explain the plan that would assist with my condition. He was thorough, professional, kind and caring. He brought information up on his computer to illustrate some aspects of the plan. He explained everything, answered our questions and gave us instructions for labs and my Cardiac release. When we left we knew what I needed to do for the next six weeks to get better. The plan is working! You can't argue with success! I am so thankful for my improvement. Thank you Dr. Kim. Helen F. White"

"First visit. Dr Kim was very caring, professional and explained everything. There was no rushing to just get through appointment. I feel very comfortable with the treatment plan."
"At the age of 49, soon to be 50 female, mother of 4 daughters- This was my first colonscopy ever and was ordered as a routine and important procedure by my OB GYN. The Gasteroenterology Consultants of SA team made sure they checked insurance and that I was prepped and ready to go. I met with Dr. Kim before the procedure and he was kind and explained what would be happening and asked if I had any questions. “I just asked him to b me gentle” lol Then I woke up from the best nap ever, and didn’t even feel any after effects from the procedure itself. It was as if, I never even had it. Dr. Kim was that gentle and thorough. He met me and my husband after and explained that everything went well and all looked good. He did excise one very small hidden polyp that looked harmless; but out of an abundance of caution, he wanted it checked. From start to finish - I arrived at 6:30 in the morning, was in the procedural room at 7:15, was fast asleep within 25 seconds - thanks to a great anesthesiologist, and woke up at 7:45, home by 8:20 a.m. after picking up breakfast :D About 10 days later, I got the official lab report and it was benign. Better safe than sorry. I am glad Dr. Kim took the time and made sure. As a result, I don’t have to have another colonoscopy for another 10 years. Don’t wait to do what’s important. Do it now. Dr. Kim was fantastic and he is a great asset to the Gastroenterology Consultants of SA Team!"
"Dr. Kim and the whole staff were amazing from start to finish. First time having a colonoscopy and was pretty nervous. Everyone was friendly and thoroughly explained what would happen at each step of the process from registration to discharge. Dr. Kim not only discussed with me in the procedure room, he also met with me post procedure to discuss his findings and next step. Would recommend Dr.Kim and this practice to anyone! Will be back when it’s time for my next procedure!"
"My appointment with Dr. Kim was very nice. I felt comfortable talking about my issues and Dr. Kim was very informative. I would recommend him to anyone."
"I had my first appointment with Dr. Kim less than a week ago. I made sure to fill out my paperwork online ahead of time to try to expedite my check-in process. There is still some extra paperwork to fill out once you arrive to the office. Only paid my co-pay. There were no financial surprises and/or fees. The staff were friendly and efficient. Dr. Kim listened to my concerns and together we decided the best treatment plan for me. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Kim!"
"He's a great Dr. So far I feel like he really listens to me and is addressing my immediate issues."
"Dr. Kim is very kind. I’m extremely appreciative, he made me feel heard. I ended up seeing him for an endoscopy, it went very smoothly outside of me being a bit teary post-sedation. The staff working with him that dat was also kind as well. It did take a while to get the procedure done, but I much prefer a doctor who is thorough & takes his time versus one that rushes. I’ll certainly recommend him to anyone who is dealing with GI issues."
"Everyone was very professional and friendly. Very good experience."
"Dr. Kim was very nice he made me feel comfortable and even called after my appointment to follow up with me about my results. He had a referral set up and said the staff was supposed to call me with that info but they didn't I had to reach out myself. Other than that, he's very kind and I would certainly go back to him."
"Dr. Kim was very polite and efficient. He was very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with his exam."
"This was the first time I have had Dr Kim as my gastroenterologist. He was extremely knowledgeable, articulate and gave easy to understand answers to my issues. Without reservation, I will request him on any future needs."
"I had my first colonoscopy done, and Dr. Kim was great! He and the whole staff put me at ease. Dr. Kim explained what what would happen during my procedure in a way I could understand, and when I woke up he was there to talk me through the printed results and images he had from. I was really not looking forward to this appointment, but Dr. Kim was great!"
"Highly recommend! I interview doctors before I hire them. I need to know thy can work collaboratively with a patient; too many can’t handle being questioned. Dr. Kim passed with flying colors, and was respectful and willing to work with my naturopathic first approach. It’s served me well for 16 years (no real issues with my Crohn’s), but I know I still need a colonoscopy. Booked it with him and entire procedure went great. I was very comfortable with him & the anesthesiologist. The outpatient facility was well-run & well-staffed; received overview of findings immediately w/ detailed pics and explanations."
